You mean BOTH and anyway when do I get to sing my way?

Must be amateur hour....

We're off to see them for the 'Plagiarism' album in 3 weeks. Still one of my favourite bands.

Well at least I can name one of their songs

How many of those 21 albums have you got btw

 

[Jamon Jamon]

You mean BOTH

on a total change of subject, I decided not to correct Beach Hut as

A)it's of no importance what so ever

B)i'll leave it to some other smartarse waiting in the wings with his spellchecker

and his Wickpedia to correct every little fact or spelling or punctuation error or to

scream out "fixtures!" simply because the author hasn't bothered to wade

through 27 pages of shit before posting a new topic

Really? Having heard non of them, I accept my comment about one and half hit wonders is born of ignorance, I had no idea they's even released more than one album.

[Theatre of Trees]

Going to see Hello Young Lovers gig on 11th June.

Sparks have always been a bit left field hence the low number of chart placings but many of the albums are worth checking out.
